Monks as tanks.

[Thark601]

I'm completly fed up with playing monk...
Seems as tho all the low end parties seem to think you should tank if you have a warrior sub...

I know i have more health and I know some of the newer players as warrior are too cheap to upgrade there armor but monks are not tanks ppl...
I'd think you'd realize that when the whm wastes all there mp trying to cure the mnk tank...

Up through the 20s, my experience is that a mnk/war makes a fine tank. A warrior is probably a better tank, but I would never turn down a mnk/war as a solid secondary. Dodge is like a poor man's defender (without the decreased offense) and Counter makes you dish out a little more damage while you're tanking. If you are under level 30 and not offering to tank, you're doing yourself and your party a great disservice.

not really cause a tank in proper updated armor takes much less dmg than me even with dodge and counter

A monk is a fine tank up TILL lvl 20. After 20, it gets pointless.

Lvl 20, with monk sub, warrior gets counterattack.

Lvl 25, warrior gets defender.

Warrior can shield, parry, and has a decent evasion skill.
